Slow Down!

We all lead very busy lives which can make it difficult to remain focused on our goals. With so many things to do each day, it is easy to get lost in the day to day tasks. Sadly, our dreams take a back seat.

We complicate matters ourselves by trying to focus on too many goals at the same time. We have short, medium, and long term goals in all areas of our lives including financial goals, career goals, relationship goals and so on.

Time to simplify things. Write out your current short term goal on an index card. Make it emotional, written in the present tense with exciting adjectives. This goal can be focused on one or more areas of your life, the point is to write it in a way that gets you super motivated each time you read it.

Now the next all important step, carry the goal card with you everywhere you go. Read it several times a day. It doesn't matter how busy you are, you can always find one minute or so to read your goal card. This will keep your goal in the forefront of your mind regardless of how busy your life gets.

Once you reach the goal, then and only then will you be ready to move on to the next one. This will allow you to slow down, stay focused and in action towards actually achieving your goals one at a time, instead of just wishing that you had the time to devote to them.
